Machiavellian Musings

[Ebony Zebedee]

Machiavellian musings
I call it poetry
Just incoherent ramblings to those who dont know the reality
Such fleeting senses of sanity
Such fragile peace of mind
So many unaware of the temptress devils empire
So translucent when you’re given the advantage of visions
I subscribe
Invest in intuition and allow my mind to fly
Falling from such heights of ignorance and thrill
Plummeting toward the earthly confines that keep me still
Knowing so reluctantly that there is no garuntee
Just gestures
Condescending
Yet better than blunt honesty
Sometimes I appreciate the lies knowing good and well
That others are experiencing a reality close to hell
I try to chide myself
Reminders of my futility and faults
Being I am human and with that comes a variety of results
I try not to look down upon my fellow man or even foe
As the fact remains he battles things that to me are still unknown
Im open to criticism and critique as I do hope to improve
Not in the eyes of others
Its just that I refuse
To stay stagnant
Im reaching
Stepping up
Moving forward everyday
Ive survived up until this point
Im wiser than yesterday
Like I said
Machiavellian musings
He was tortured too
For doing exactly as was asked of him
There is no reason or excuse
Its profitable
Permissable
No one dares refuse
You don’t actually have to commit any kind of offense to be abused
Some say we are born for it
Others say that its deserved
All I know is that its evil and so describe it all in word
Im not hoping to be rewarded
Im not seeking gain or praise
Its just my way of coping
Hoping not to feel so fazed
